Since some users don't need the lower latencies, higher latencies can afford them a bit more avid performance at lower price. A good case and point is the new OCZ DDR3-1333 Gold Edition 2GB Dual Channel Memory Kit. OCZ has obviously been paying attention to the market comments and has done something to help their fans that are looking to make the move to DDR3. It isn't that there aren't many DDR3 kits to choose from, it's more that there aren't a great deal of DDR3 boards circulating yet. And there hasn't been a large enough performance boost from DDR3 boards that can draw people out to spend that pretty penny required to upgrade their motherboard and memory kit to tap in to their Core 2 Duo's hidden potential.
